This Is Really Rich: Or, What My Dog Would Make Of This Post To: +bmart (5426 ) From: +Rich_1 Monday, Sep 14 1998 7:21PM ET Reply # of 5436 BMart, it's pretty clear that Shell, Mitchell, Tonto, etc. are paid bashers for the shortsellers. No other fool would make it their life to constantly search for dirt to exploit. If I did not like a company or its shareholders, I might post once, but then be gone for good. However, if I had a significant short position at stake I would behave exactly like them. You gotta admit, they should get paid well since they do a darn good job at shareshaking. I believe that most shareholders are onto their gig here on SI and would not sell just because of their relentless slamming. I wouldn't be surprised if much of the volume is really not legitimate selling but more manipulation in tandum with their bashing. Got to give that illussion that there's panic selling due to their bashing. This all confirms to me that the squeeze is alive and well. Rich_ I don't know about in tandum or about the illussion which might have more to do with the fact of confusing being able to speak with being able to think. That is really rich.
